摘要

The establishment of a Painting Seminary in Japan around 1590 led to the creation and development of a unique visual culture that blended various cultural influences, primarily European and Asian. With very few parallels at the time, this specific apprenticeship space, guided by the Jesuits and the Christian mission in Japan but open to a wide variety of people, produced not only paintings and engravings but also European musical instruments and mechanical clocks. This text aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the diverse skill sets imparted in this Seminary. It will explore the rationale behind the inclusion of these skills, considering both their technical aspects and their spiritual significance.
